@Rolan1Michael @NASAAdmin @NASA Dang the moon gets a publix before Jackson?

@NASAAdmin @NASA New pics from the Lunar Surface 🤪🖖

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth. On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world. Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

Yup

@DevilDocs_Box @MagneticNorse I got one for Christmas probably in ‘95. Was stole in 02 ish. Loved that gun.

@MagneticNorse I bought one of those exacy NEF 20 GA shotguns for $110 in 1982

As if the scattergat wasn't already the most versatile platform

@the7maxims Didn’t they beat them 3 times that year

I’ll never forget Mc9 running all over the Jaguars in the 1999 playoffs.

1860s-1880s American West. The U.S. government has a problem: Plains Indians maintain independence through bison hunting. Approximately 30-60 million bison provide meat year-round. Plains Indians need nothing from the U.S. government. Complete nutritional independence enables political independence. The military solution: Eliminate the bison. Systematically. General William Tecumseh Sherman, 1868: "The quickest way to compel the Indians to settle down to civilized life was to send ten regiments of soldiers to the plains, with orders to shoot buffaloes until they became too scarce to support the redskins." He wasn't being metaphorical. This was official policy. 1870-1883: Commercial hunters, often with military support, killed 50+ million bison. Not for meat - most carcasses were left to rot. For hides, sure. But primarily: To eliminate Plains Indians' food source. By 1884: Fewer than 300 bison remained in North America. Plains Indians, forced onto reservations, received government rations: Flour, sugar, lard. Minimal meat. The transformation was immediate and devastating. Sitting Bull, 1883: "Our people were healthy and strong before the white man came. Now they are sick and weak." Reservation agents documented the change: Diabetes appeared. Obesity emerged. Dental health collapsed. Chronic diseases proliferated. All within one generation of dietary change. From bison-based diet (primarily meat and fat) to government rations (primarily flour and sugar). Military reports noted that Plains Indians on reservations were physically weaker than previous generations. Less capable of resistance. This wasn't accidental. It was the goal. Eliminate the bison, force grain dependency, eliminate resistance capacity. The strategy worked perfectly. No major Plains Indian uprising after 1890. Not because they accepted subjugation. Because they lacked the physical capacity to sustain prolonged resistance. The bison elimination was genocide through nutrition. Destroy the food source that enables independence, replace with rations that create dependency and weakness. It's documented explicitly in military correspondence. The goal was stated openly. Modern American history teaches the bison elimination as environmental disaster or economic shift. It was deliberate nutritional suppression to eliminate political resistance. The Plains Indians understood this. Their oral histories are explicit about the connection between bison elimination and population weakening. But American historical narrative prefers the environmental story. Less uncomfortable than admitting we starved populations into submission using grain rations. The experiment worked. The results were documented. Remove the meat source. Provide grain. Watch physical capacity collapse. Plains Indians went from warrior cultures dominating the Great Plains to reservation populations with catastrophic health outcomes in one generation. The variable: Diet changed from bison to flour. That's not coincidence. That's cause and effect. The bison elimination proved what every empire has known: Control protein access, control political capacity.

What Socrates said about democracy more than 2000 years ago. He said that demoracy must fall because it will try to tailor to everyone. The poor will want the wealth of the rich, and democracy will give it to them. Young people will want to be respected as elderly and democracy will give it to them. Women will want to be like men and democracy will give it to them Foreigners will want the rights of the natives and democracy will give it to them. Thieves and fraudsters will want important government functions, and democracy will give it to them. And at that time, when thieves and fraudsters finally democratically take authority because criminals and evil doers want power, there will be worse dictatorship than in the time of any monarchy or oligarchy. Socrates (470-399 b.c.)

@ClayTravis That’s westhaven?

Franklin, Tennessee ice storm damage. It looks like a war zone all over Nashville area with trees collapsing under massive amounts of ice. It may get worse as temperatures are now dropping and winds are increasing.

Did anyone even lose power?

@Matt_Pinner Only cast iron. I keep two in the stove at all times. Two more in the cabinet. Plus two Dutch ovens. And two more Dutch ovens somewhere else because “they’re taking up too much space”

Does anyone still use a cast-iron skillet these days? I’m trying to prove to my wife that they’re not just a thing of the past—she thinks they’re completely outdated.

@BoCamaro I feel ya on the vols. And college sports in general. Good luck. Most of this app is miserable.

Ya know. I don't really wanna do this any more. After Arion Carter's deal, I just don't wanna do this any longer. Loyalty matters to me, and seeing our team constantly being dropped and used and just being a cash cow is just not remotely fun any longer. I started this account because I loved Tennessee football. I made a ton of friends that I love talking to. and I really enjoyed following recruiting. College football is broken and nothing about it is enjoyable, so I think it is time to put it behind me. We only attended 3 home games this year, and we lost all 3. I also attended the Oklahoma playoff game for the charity stuff. That's doen from 10 to 12 games a year every year. But I don't think I wanna continue being around Tennessee athletics at all. I love my Vols. Have since I was a very small child, but its morphed into something that I don't enjoy at all. I'll keep this account for the friendship and the fun of posting and interacting, but I think I am going to pull way back on anything to do with the Vols. See if I can't adjust the algorithm to something that isn't completely fucking miserable all the time. So unfollow if you want, but that's kinda where I am at. Maybe come August I won't be so damned burnt out and jaded to it all.🤷‍♂️

Just tell me who is on the team August 1st and I’ll pay attention then. This garbage is toxic af.

@CollinRugg Walz badly needs a distraction right now. I bet he would love for a riot to break out.

@CollinRugg Now Tim Walz is calling troops to fight against Federal Law Enforcement! That is Sedition! Arrest him. This is crazy!

@CollinRugg Says the guy that allowed billions to be stolen from Minnesotans

This is amazing. Who did this?

@BleacherReport Not confusing. Refs gave georgia every chance to win. They blew it at the end so they tried to rig it any way they could. Blatant

It’s impossible for Tennessee to lose to Vandy and no one in Knoxville gets fired

@JLettucewrist @dannykanell It doesn’t matter how many teams you have, there will always be an argument of who’s in or out. Whether it’s 2 or 32. Most likely 1 of the top 4 teams will always win. The best are the best. Cfp past 4 teams is a waste of time, but then what’s not.. Ecc 1

@dannykanell None of what you said matters this is what happens when you expand and the only reason was for more money

We’re all arguing about Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame and overlooking that TWO groups of 5 schools are occupying spots when they have zero business playing in it this year. Tulane lost 45-10 to Ole Miss. JMU only played ONE P4 school and lost by 14. What a mess

@TNVolsTrashCan The lack of holding calls has been egregious
